Acting U.S. Attorney Duane A. Evans announced that JERMAINE WHITE, age 34, of Houma, pled guilty yesterday to an Indictment charging him with violations of the Federal Controlled Substances Act, in violation of Title 21, United States Code, Sections 841, 841(b)(1)(A) and 846.
According to court documents, WHITE was arrested in August 2015, after coordinating the mailing of over 1000 grams of methamphetamine to Houma through the U.S. Postal Service. Two packages bound for WHITE were intercepted by the United States Postal Inspection Service, which led to a delivery of the packages to two separate addresses utilized by WHITE for drug distribution.
WHITE faces a minimum term of ten years of imprisonment and a maximum term of life imprisonment, a maximum fine of $10,000,000, at least five years of supervised release, and a mandatory $100 special assessment. U.S. District Judge Sarah S. Vance set sentencing for Dec. 13, 2017.
Acting U.S. Attorney Evans praised the work of the United States Postal Inspection Service and the Drug Enforcement Administration in investigating this matter. Assistant U.S. Attorney James S. C. Baehr is in charge of the prosecution.
